Vossen matte silver CV2 mini shoot

Hey all i got these matte silver cv2 the day they came out and finally had time to take some photos myself to show you all.

I think these wheels look great, and of course something new is always good =D

Wheel size 20'

Tire size
Front- 245/30/20
Rear- 275/30/20

Offset
Front- +17
Rear- +25

I went with a new set up this time because the super aggressive set up and stretched tires were a **** ride. =/ I drove my car way to much to have that set up so i went with a little more meat. Personally i think it looks great.

Hope you all like ! Happy Thanksgiving !!

They are nice, but I still prefer the machined black w/ stainless lip on the OB G.

Car does look great!!! I do agree that the Matte Black does play off the OB a little better. Still looks clean though.

CV1 look more concave cuz the straight spoke design. This design is a bit different because it stops on the middle and goes back in for the center. They are still pretty concave.

How was ride shi!ty when you had 255/30? Just wondering. In terms of handling?
I went from 285 30 to 265 30, I dindt notice any difference.

I have +25 rear offset, I should go for 275/30 next time

Sh!ty in terms of bumps, noise and vibration when the tires would ware out. Since there isn't much tire it would really bring up the consequences of having a stretched tire.

Handling the traction was horrible! The car grips much more with 275!

I doubt the ride quality changed much since you stay with the same side wall
30's. Also you have the same suspension set up. I'm no tire guru but based on the details provided only difference is tire width, which indeed will give you better grip but ride comfort will not change much. Just my two cents.

Possibly right but remember the 255 was super stretched and IMO the stretch takes away from the sidewall of the 30 series.

Who know .. All i know is that the stretch was a bad ride.. Very uncomfortable, my favorite was the 305 perellis

Personally I like the matte silver look, and your old wheels look clean now being on Rauls silver G. The Cv1's have some crazy concave dude to their spoke design.

I'm not sure what the offsets are on your old Cv1, but I believe you were also running spacers cause the wheels to be pushed out even more = more aggressive. Being that you are still running 30 series tires front and rear, I doubt ride quality will increase by much, but you definitely will have more rubber on the road and far less stretch causing slightly more tire height.

Eitherway, wheels look pretty good in matte silver on your black G.
